Headend connection1. Connect the different cables from the multiswitch to the module inputs.2. Interconnect the modules through the supplied ethernet adapters.3. Interconnect the output line bridges.4. Connect the power line.5. Download the (*) IKUSI HEADEND DISCOVERY application from www.ikusi.tv, connect the PC to a headend station module through its ethernet connection with an RJ-45 cable.

Definition of the master moduleCommunication with the headend takes place based on the definition of a module as a master and the others as slaves. Control and access to the headend is through the master module, which allows us to configure the other modules. Open the IKUSI HEADEND DISCOVERY (the network card IPV6 protocol will be automatically enabled or permission will be requested to do so). The window will show the names of the connected modules along with the last six numbers of the MAC address and the batch serial number. Taking into account that each module is labelled with the last 6 num-bers of the MAC, locate the one located in one end of the headend and click on the "Accept" button.

The application is redirected to the web interface, showing the access page with the word "Admin" in the User field. Enter the word “admin” in the Password field and click on the Accept button.

NOTE: To display the graphics provided in the system's configuration programme, we recommend installing the Mozilla Firefox 1.5 web browser or later (www.mozilla.com) on the control PC.

The screen shows the module identification in the selected module interface; click on the button "Convert into Master Module".

Note: The wizard opens automatically the first time the headend is configured, having first interconnected all the headend modules and created a master module.
